When i first see the Scarab the in game voice says to shoot it in its legs and it wont be able to move, so i kept shooting at its legs over and over for about 45 minutes and got nowhere!
Also if i open up the VISR it says to either defeat the Scarab or evade it!

So my question is, how do i defeat the Scarab nice and quickly or how do i go about avoiding it?

Just a note to add, im playing through the game on Legendary and this is my first playthrough!

To avoid it simply hit the switch to the door to the left of the Scarab and fly through.

Or repeatedly shoot at one of it's legs till it stops moving then move to it's backside and shoot off it's cover, than it's power supply. Once it blows up hit the switch to above door.

After numerous failed attempts to kill in in the banshee on legendary, i did it the old fashioned way. Flew straight at it, bailed out, killed the one or two guys on board, and blew up the thingy at the back. :)

OMG a Scarab in a Halo game - WHAT A MAJOR SPOILER!!!!!!!!

Seriously, if people have nothing to add to a topic then don't post in them - especially insults and swearing.

If it was "Help with scarab" then its ok.

But saying which mission and giving info is not cool.

Ugh, playing through this game again to get the Naughty Naughty achievment, and totally forgot about this annoying scarab fight.
